Yes as an older person, I have seen a big increase in the cost of things like I remember when car gas cost about 55 cents a gallon! While wages and salaries have gone up I don't think that in many cases they have kept pace with the cost of living. I used to get paid $365 per month when I started out in mineral exploration and then at my last job as an employee I got about $5000 per month but even then we struggled to make ends meet to pay the mortgage or rent and buy food and clothing for the kids etc.
